A decade of MMOs

I got the chance to contribute to a piece that Richard Aihoshi put together on MMORPG.com about the last decade in the genre. Richard was one of the first guys I worked for as an associate editor, back when I contributed to IGN, so I always look forward to the chance to work with him again on articles like this...and on a side note is someone I'll always be thankful for helping me along the road to...well...to where I am now (even if he is usually too modest to accept the praise!) so make sure you drop by and check out the full article here,. I think it's an interesting read with comment from Mythic co-founder Matt Frior and Erik Bethke from Zynga.

Great read. Your comment about the type of mechanics narrowing was very insightful for me. I had not really considered it like that, but you are 100% right. We do have less variety now than we had ten years ago. That is quite sad I think

Really good article. MMORPG seems to be producing some better and more balanced articles since they brought more writers and contributors on board. As long as I steer clear of their forums it's almost becoming a site worth reading every week.
